API for runtime generated symbols #719

Open merryhime opened 5 months ago

I was wondering if an API exists to insert new symbols ± remove them at runtime. The usecase would be for a project with a JIT compiler which wishes for callstack and profiling to work across JITted code.

No such API is available.

Thanks. I will consider implementation in the future if time permits if desired.

The main problems are that: a) there are 6 or 7 different platform-specific implementations of symbol resolvers, b) the APIs in use were added as needed, so it may take a while to properly work out what is for what.
